Challenge: The Nearest Prime Number

A positive integer n is called a prime number if its only divisors are "1" and "n" itself. Write a program in any language which receives a positive integer from keyboard and finds its nearest prime number(s). Example for n=2 the nearest prime is itself, for n=10 the nearest prime is 11. Note that some numbers, for example 9, have two nearest prime numbers which are 7 and 11.

Since nobody has yet answered my challenged, I decided to write a simple program in Java to initiate the challenge. My method isPrime is the simplest possible (and the most naive) algorithm for checking whether a number is prime or not.
